Belbin Interplace

Interplace is the program that analyses the Belbin Self-Perception Inventory and Observer Assessments and produces the Belbin reports. First launched in 1988 to help Meredith Belbin cope with the number of Belbin reports he was preparing by hand everyday (and night), Interplace has undergone many software updates and is now available as a an entirely online system.

We estimate that at least 1 million reports have now been generated worldwide. If you envisage using Belbin Team Role reports for over 100 people over the next 2 years, we would strongly recommend that you purchase your own copy to provide maximum flexibility and cost savings.


What are the Benefits?

Having your own Interplace account gives you the ability to create your own Belbin Team Role reports, as and when you need them.

You decide whether to add Observer Assessments, to whom the reports should be e-mailed, who should be in each team report, whether to compare individuals to a Job profile….the list is (almost) endless. The key factor is that you only pay for submitting a Self-Perception Inventory. All the other reports and inventories are free of charge.

Your Interplace account also provides you with a wide range of background information so that, as a facilitator, you feel confident to use the Belbin reports. With over 20 different reports available to you as well as free resources, the Interplace account is your one-stop shop for Belbin reporting.
